Good luck.

"It seems Anthropic and OpenAI are already engaged. Would it be correct to assume that they will assist in creating the curriculum?

Yes"


And, of course, the solution proposed is to bring more AI and "AI literacy" even though:

"Still, 40% of the more than 2,000 teachers polled say they don't use AI at all. And more than half believe weekly use of AI by students would decrease their ability to think independently and critically."

"Another recent survey by Gallup, the Walton Family Foundation and GSV Ventures found that nearly half of Generation Z students think AI will hurt their ability to think about information carefully."


So there is this sentence:

> Check out the full thread and the quote-posts, and you can see I found more such troubling AI-generated ‘definitions’, even embedded via hyperlinks in scientific articles on ScienceDirect.

I warned about this not so long ago:

Plenty more are coming soon, I suppose, and it will be interesting to see what the effect will be upon Elsevier's brand.


Yes, maybe; I'd argue that what is happening now is because the business cases are still not really there.


"Is AI good enough to do science and review papers?"

You should know the answer already by reviewing a little of the slop submitted.


When I first heard about sloppers, I knew that slopping would be next.

The vibe physics was a new one to me, but, on a second thought, it was probably only a matter of time.

He also has some good points about those cursed post-* scholars; as it turned out, they were kind of right all along. Who would've guessed?

> alternative they offer, 96GB of RAM

On a laptop? Things have apparently moved forward a lot since I last shopped.


My Framework i7 laptop from 2021 is maxed out at 64GB. 96GB has been a reality in the AMD world for a while.

The Framework Desktop, which is built on laptop tech but with more power & cooling to minimize throttling, takes 128GB.


You can spec a MacBook Pro up to 128GB these days (although tbf that’s shared with the GPU).


tbf that shared-with-the-GPU thing is a huge plus for many people :-)



A lot of discussion, but one contradiction seems to have gone unnoticed; notably, the EU's DMA decision about Apple having to allow alternative app stores. Go figure again about these contradictory moves.
